SUMMARY- Mr. LaFosse and Mr. Alexander have had a ton of practice putting books together, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that the instructions are clear and well broken down, the models are awesome(a new dragon for me!), and the book format lets it lie flat no matter what page you turn to(there's a wire comb binding bound into the hardcover. I'm always impressed with a well engineered book to enhance the materials. I particularly liked the standing bunny and seahorse, and the teddy bear is so cleverly folded that the printing on the bill forms eyes and snout naturally. But that's not all! There's also an instructional DVD that shows folding each of the models in real time, and an introduction by the two designers. It was really nice to put faces to the names, and to be able to watch the process.
